Final Fantasy 16 could've been a good game. The combat is fun, which is often the most important part of making a a good game. But this is a JRPG. People play these games for the story, and this story sucks.

@Evanz111 Yeah it's weird. Testing out each element's charged projectiles, they all do the same exact damage number to enemies. Why even have all these different elements if none of them have unique properties. No affinities or option to exploit enemy resistance at all. Why is there not a burn meter filling up when I'm doing fire combos? Am ice meter should be slowing enemies down. Darkness should be making an enemy attack itself and/or other enemies in combat.

I don't think lore, in and of itself is an issue, I'd even argue that extremely well thought out and compelling world building is nothing but a benefit. Rather, I think how "lore" is used by modern writers is the real problem. When used correctly, it functions like fries in a fast-food order. Ideally it slots in seemlessly with your burger and drink, and after you're done your meal, you might find some fries at the bottom of the bag - a little extra treat you weren't expecting. The way modern writers tend to use it is like a crutch or a bandaid for incompetent writing. They make bad creative decisions and try to excuse them by pointing to something outside of the story as justification. Take Destiny for example. It basically put the key points of its story on a bloody website instead of the actual game. If your story requires material outside of itself to make sense, then it's a bad story. Go rewrite it.
@12ealDealOfficial
@12ealDealOfficial Год назад
Agreed. I think lore is best when it is set dressing for a story, not the story itself. FFX had all of its lore delivered practically without the need for menus and such. The world had history in FFX but you were shown this in the level design. Tidus asked the same questions the player would likely want to ask, and the rest could be found organically by talking to NPCs. You only got as much lore as you needed to understand what was happening, and the delivery of that lore was tight and scaled with your level of interest to seek it out. Too many contemporary stories spend way too much time including everything possible in any way they can, text or no. It becomes boring.
@KristjanThomasHaaristo
@KristjanThomasHaaristo Год назад
@@12ealDealOfficial A perfect example of game writers/devs being beyond retarded is Destiny 2, where the lore of the game is absolutely god-tier, with really interesting scenes and shit going on that is nowhere even CLOSE to what is going on in the main stories or side content, I don't know how this happens but in most large scale world games there's a ton of super super interesting lore, but the actual main plot or side content is absolutely mind numbingly boring

I seriously miss turn-based RPGs. Even though the systems were the result of technical limitations, they had this unique thrill and level of suspense that real time action games can't quite replicate. Battles were almost like puzzles, with the added benefits of nail-biting tension and glorious spectacle. EDIT: I'm not arguing that the original turn-based RPG formula was flawless. Of course it had issues; the most obvious of which were excessive grindiness and random encounters. I doubt anyone believes these mechanics were a net positive. I'm simply stating that, when at their best, turn-based RPG battles could be pulse-pounding games of cat-and-mouse mixed with chess. I personally haven't played a real-time action game that truly manages to give me that same feeling. Not even "Combat Puzzle" games like Doom Eternal.

There is another guy just as jaded as he is: WorthaBuy. These two are pretty spot on in terms of highlighting flaws in games and not caring about the rest of society and what it thinks it cool. For games to truly advance we have to identify biases. Only a few reviewers are good at it. SKill up is pretty good but there is that feeling that as a channel gets more popular the move away from being cynical and more friendly to industry people starts to creep up. This is the path of most youtube people who rely on this as their main income. This is why corporate side to gaming pisses me off. At some point everyone turns into access media guy that is not self aware of the corruption. These giant companies need kick in the butt to remind them we want gaming to advance not stay stagnant. And the bigger the game industry gets the more corporate it gets and the more greedy and powerful it gets which allows them to ignore real criticism. (they reach the "too big to fail" status and don't give a sh1t if the product is bad because so many young people will still buy the stuff regardless. EA is perfect example of that)

Yes but that was not until Second Son where a government organization led by a conduit herself was just capturing and imprisoning them, and they were kept in a state where they couldn't access their powers at all, but I don't think enslavement was ever involved though, but in InFamous 1 and 2 there wasn't a plot point about conduits being captured or enslaved by ordinary people because people were still new to the concept of them existing in the first place. Speaking of which, I want InFamous 1 and 2 remastered for current-gen, please!

Yes, we've all seen that in Naruto as well. Demon hosts were used as dissuasive weapons and generally enslaved by the village but the series handled it better because sometimes the hosts were close to Kage themselves and/or independent but willing to help their people. It was justified by the lack of control of the host over the demon and the fact that the demon was sealed. I think this trope is also used a lot in superhero comics. Once again, most of the time, the enslaving authority generally uses specific objects or elements to counter the powers. Which is not the case in this FF.

Good hack n slash games like Metal Gear Rising is great but I vouch for Ninja Gaiden, I like a little challenge and it's personally one of my favorite game series besides DMC and speaking of DMC, I recommend you play and review DMC5 since people compare it a lot to FFXVI. The game has its flaws which I won't spoil for you and it has a recap on the main menu and has got lesser cutscenes that aren't tedious. And because you have a PS5, you can get DMC5 Special Edition since it's a lot cheaper. I love hack n slash but overall, this genre itself used to be as popular as soulslikes, thankfully, Platinum Games are keeping it breathing with Bayonetta.

certain types of games aren't for everyone. That's certainly the case with story driven rpg's, where telling a compelling, dense story is the first priority of the devs. Consuming the main narrative in a game like FF16 isn't unlike reading a book. You can't impatiently skim each page waiting for it to be something else. You have to have the patience and commitment to let it unravel at the pace it was designed to unravel. Which again, is not the kind of game a lot of people are going to be into, attention spans are down, I get it. But coming from someone who values and looks for good story telling in video games, I love FF16. It's a dense, sprawling, slow burn, that takes its time. And the payoff is a sense of having lived in this world and gotten to know its characters over decades of in game time. The gameplay is secondary but important. And again, compared to other jpgs, 16 is leagues ahead of its competition with its battle system. So which jpgs in the last 20 years are we comparing this to?
@XDarkEcho
@XDarkEcho Год назад
My problem is, for an action game, I don't think this was the best course of action; because at the end of it, people want to get back to the gameplay that's the selling point of the game. The story could be good, but if you're bogging the game down with just story, story, story, then it's gonna feel like a drag when you only get to fight for a small amount of it. You got to have a good balance, I believe, and I'd say older FF games did it better, though given the grinding nature of them, the combat could feel repetitive, but I do believe they had a good balance with FF12. I don't think I could agree with FF16 being leagues ahead of other JRPGs with it's battle system, when it's not much of an JRPG, but more of a full on Action game, and lacks any of the RPG that most JRPGs have: status effects, weaknesses/strengths, etc. Which is exactly what Yoshi-P did with FF14 as well. Especially, when most JRPGs battle systems are a bit more strategic and require more micro management, because of all the buffs/debuffs, accountability of team make up, gear, status effects, etc.

Except there are ways to give a video game compelling and dense stories without bogging down or undermining the gameplay and pacing, Death Stranding being a great example as it's a game I'm playing through right now. It's narrative about connection and separation is very compelling and dense, and yet DS remembers that it's a video game and therefore most of the time you're playing the game, you are going to be delivering packages, planning your routes, making bridges and roads that allow you to get to certain places much easier, etc, and you have to be careful and thorough as you have a limit on how much you can build due to the chiral network's bandwidth, and you can also damage your packages which lowers the amount of likes you get, which lowers the rate of connection you build with many of the people you deliver packages too. Video games are video GAMES, they are meant to be played, not sit there and listen and watching what goes on most of the time, that's what movie/shows are for.

it was ok. the story is extremely boring and the characters are aswell. the gameplay is good tho. but if they're putting so much story into the game, and even voice at some of it, make a great story. FFXVI has a bit too many cutscenes but at least the story is great, just like the gameplay. also its not even "a classic FF game". its literally braverly default with different graphics, stop fooling yourself.

FF has been dead for well over a decade now. I'm not even sure why some people keep hanging onto its corpse, it's been over for so long. And no, "Japan" doesn't struggle with telling a serious, dark story (just look at Berserk, Monster, Vagabond...). Japanese "game developers" struggle with this, and even they only recently.

"It's all in reverse now. Back in the day, in the PlayStation 1 era the CGI cutscenes was well received and appraised because two things: the spectacle factor and by giving context to the story. Gameplay was (and still is) the king and as such it was treat just like that. Now, you must to bear with the broken, nonsensical, subpar anime/manga writing to be able to play the damn game. And that if the gameplay is good enough to worth that time. Like you said: the save the best bits to the demo, baiting enough people to later delivers the kick in your gaming ballz. This can possibly be the final nail in the Final Fantasy franchise, thanks for the lack of touch from the Square-Enix suits. What shame."

MGS was bad about it but usually not to the point it derailed the game. I felt MGS issue other than being too japanese to feel american is more the phony non violence message. It's a game with photo realistic guns, gun damage, and thinks of all sorts of ways to have Snake kill someone...then preaches at you that war is bad. Well hey I'm not the one who gave me the ability to slit a guys throat or stick him up and shoot all his limbs.

Look at Capcom at how they did Claire, she's badass enough to fight Birkin, Zombies, Mr. X, lickers. But as soon as Chief Irons comes into play she's held captive and tied up. I cringed so hard at how they did Claire. Next thing you know she's hiding in bushes with Sherry dodging random passerbys.

Game has no replay value since there is only one ending, just increasing difficulty is lame, what happened to RPG games with multiple endings, also Final Fantasy games used to be groundbreaking in some sort of way, I see nothing here that other games have not already done and done better, this very well could be "the Final Fantasy"

I didnt mind the mix of goofy and dark, that s why I love 7, and many other japanese stuff. Yet I knew the man wouldn't bear that. Though compared to GoW square didnt indulge too much into woke bullshit which is refreshing.. Also I think some of the epicness of late game is unmatched, cutscenes and eikon battles. But he won't know.. FF have always been about twisted narrative, this fits this era of "movie game type. Maybe not the gamer experience but compared to watching Netflix, I think it's fair. 7 remake felt quite the same, with the added value of playing with existing lore. Rebirth got me hyped just based on story.

Yeah I unironically had to stop playing the game because the constant cutscenes gave me an aneurysm. The lack of player control or shit to do as a player just bored the fuck out of me because there was no reason to do anything, you were to go from A to B and that was it. It was similar to why I dropped FF14 everything just feels like a toyset for you to move through in 5 minutes and be done with it. Extremely dulling. I have a lot of fun with weird story heavy games but most of those aren't really cutscene heavy its traditional jrpgs so tthey make every cutscene count.
